outdoor sounds

site-specific performances and field recordings

My interest in outdoor sound has developed through both site-specific musical performances and field recording. These activities offer different ways of engaging with an environment: performing within a landscape, listening to the sounds already present, and considering how a place shapes the experience of music.

The works and recordings collected here explore relationships between composed sound and the surrounding environment. Some involve musical performances in outdoor settings, while others focus on documenting the sounds of particular places.
